Weapon swap for druid loses benefits of beast form
|
Hello! I'm using two talismans on my Druid.
Both of it in Wyvern form. But in stats I see strange things. When I changed weapon I'm loosing benefits from Wivern form, for example my start of Energy Shield recharge speed becomes 2.65s instead of 1.59s. Yes I have two passive trees, but I haven't any point with ES in it for one exactly weapon. I checked too that when I changing beast form on this "uneffective" weapon set (on talisman) nothing changes in stats. Looks like a bug. Last bumped on Mar 13, 2026, 11:10:44 AM

Going 2.65 to 1.59 is loosing almost exactly ~100% increased start to es recharge. Most wyverns get some increased start from the tree and gear so if you are getting it from gear, make sure you're hitting all the attribute requirements for your gear/skills/supports on both weapon sets and tree point sets. Could be there's some feedback where you don't meet the attribute req. for a piece of gear that also has attribute suffixes on it which actually let you wear that gear along with other pieces of gear in a weird chain of attribute catastrophe.
Also, are you testing this in hideout or town or in combat or in map? I know there is wyvern 50% bonus inherent and extra 50% bonus while shapeshifted that's easy to get on the tree near "scales of the wyvern" so if you're getting another 50% extra from gear or wherever else, and you are currently in wyvern form, and then you switch weapon sets, I am pretty sure it's the case that you are not actually considered shapeshifted until you also use a shapeshift skill (despite still looking like a wyvern). During this time you'd only getting the 50% from gear, and not the 100% additional from wyvern + tree. That could explain the missing 100% when you just swap weapons in hideout or whatever and it would probably reset if you changed zone or re-equipped the weapon or - as I'm guessing - using a shapeshift skill. In this case you would probably also notice you are missing other "while shapeshifted" stats like defense or stun threshold, elemental threshold, skill speed, damage etc. depending on your tree, and maybe the same thing fixes it. Share your gear/tree. This sounds like an interesting problem to solve if anything. Who am I to say anything, I don't respect my time either.

I tested it in hideout and on the map too.
It really looks that when I swap weapon set (using other wyvern skill which binded for it) I loose all benefits of beast form at all (from all passive skills and from type of beast form). Here my character https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/9e1ix00j It looks like when I swap weapon set character is considered as a human. All attribute requirements are hit on both weapon set passive tree. About zones: exactly on which weapon set I came to the map/hideout - exactly that weapon set will have all bonuses of beast form and another haven't. That means that I can have it on I and on II it depends on which set I came to the map |

Are you just manually switching weapons by using the "switch weapon" button or are do you have certain skills tied to certain weapon sets and switch by using the skills?
I think it's a bit more problematic if it's by skill. I haven't done all the math on your char either but have you double checked you don't have attribute issues - at a glance looks like it could be tight on some of them. Who am I to say anything, I don't respect my time either.

I tried switch my inventory manually, tried switch by button till Im in menu, and also tried switch by using skills which binded to different weapon sets.
About passive tree I checked it 5 times. All my gear are ok during weapon swap and no any passive tree skills are affect this. I see exactly picture like I loose all benefits of beast form in this case (loose benefits from "while Shapeshifted" passives which apply for BOTH weapon sets + all benefits from Wyvern form) |
